Pipe or Tubing for Oxygen supply in Smelter

[gecox22]

Good Morning all,

I am introducing oxygen into my Crucible during the melting process and I was wondering what would be the best option for the tubing/pipe that is carrying the oxygen. The temperatures in the crucible are getting anywhere from 900 to 1500 C. Would stainless be the best option for this?

Thanks

Glen

i would use a ceramic clay pipe

Use a quartz tube it has a 1600c melting point and is less effected by fluxes than ceramics.

Thanks for the suggestions! I really appreciate it. I take a look at some options for those and come up with a plan.

Thanks again!
